it should be' apparent that the discharge ports 18 are arranged atopposite sides ot and 1n close proximity to the teeth ot the 'saws 4,and *thatA the discharge ports 2O which 'arelocated in advance of andbetween 'directly abovefthe saw teeth.

I the discharge ports 18, are arranged directly vabove and incloseproximity to the teeth ot'y the saws. In other words, a series ofthreel discharge ports is provided for each of the saws 4, two of theports of each series ex- 4tending`.transverselyof thel discharge end ofthe doli'ng' -nozzle andbeing arranged at opposite sides ofv the sawteeth and the remaining port of each series extending longitudinally ofsaid eind and being arranged Due 'to the relative arrangement of thevdischarge ports and their Varrangement with respeetto the teeth of the'saws 4', the lint is positively and LcompletelyVV removed from the sawsby the streams of air'discharging from the ports.

' While I yhave described the principle vot operation of thel invention,together with the device 'which I'now consider to be the best embodimentthereof, I desire` to have vit unl charge ports arranged` adjacent thelateral Sidesrof the aah. 1

2, A cotton 'gin comprising, in combina-vr tion with 3the gin saws, anair chute, and a doing nozzleV communicating Vwith 'the air y chute :andAhaving aninclined discharge end arranged between the sides and acrossthe V'ger-ipheries' of the saws, the d oling nozzle eilig4 provided atsaid end thereof with ports varrangedto deliver streams of air i againstthe tops of the saw teeth and ports arranged to deliver streams of airagainst the sides of the saw teeth.

A cotton gin comprising, in combination with the gin saws, an air chute,and a doiing nozzlev having its discharge end arranged in closeproximity to the teeth of the saw and provided with channels receivingrthe saw teeth, the nozzle being provided with discharge ports arrangedin front of and at thesides of said channels.

1. A cotton gin comprising, in combination with the gin saws, an airchute, and a dofling nozzle provided with a series ot three dischargeports foreach saw, certain of the ports extending across the sav and theremainder being arranged at the sides of the saw. l

5. A doiiing nozzle for a cotton gin provided at its rear side withalternately arranged exterior channels and interior air passages, thechannels and air passages extending upwardly from the discharge end ofthev nozzle, the nozzle being provided forwardly of said first airpassages with a second air passage extending entirely across the same,triangular blocks arranged in the lower portions of said lirst airpassages, and triangular blocks arranged in the lower portion of saidsecond air passage at points between said first air passages.

6. A doffing nozzle for a cotton gin provided at its rear side withrelatively s mecd air passages each having a pair of discharge ports,and provided at its front side with an air passage extending across saidIrst passages and having discharge ports each arranged between each pairof said first discharge ports.

7. doing nozzle for a cotton gin provided at its rear side withrelatively s )aced air passages each having a pair of disc large ports,the nozzle being provided at its front side with an air passageextending acrossI said first air passages and having discharge portseach arranged between each pair of said lirst discharge ports, andelements arranged in said passages to elfeet an inewase in the velocityof the aiijas it approaches the discharge ports.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
